Hurricane Sandy

What cigar is everyone enjoying for a little hurricane party? I'm savoring a FFP. Stay safe!

pnoon · 10-28-2012, 09:23 PM

Don't think many are finding the storm a reason to party.

Welcome to Cigar Asylum.

Thanks! I've been lurking quite a while. A lot of great info and reviews. Seems like an amazing online community.

Hope all our Northeast bro's and sister's stay safe, my BIL is in Jersey and says it's about to get nasty.

I live in NW Washington State, I'm here in South jersey/Phila. area visiting family now. Had a Montecristo with my Bro in law tonight.

Sandy is a *****. Mean assed gal, for sure. She popped up right as my wife and I were leaving on a cruise including a stop in Nassau. Sandy stopped those plans. They had to cancel the Nassau stop. Then, we spent 3 days at sea, riding out waves that rolled a huge-ass ship like a toy. Got into port in Jacksonville, Fla on Saturday morning, made it to Va. Beach that evening, being chased by Sandys rain and wind for 9 hours. Spent today getting to the Washington DC area (wife in a nursing contract here). Chased by rain and wind. I guess we will ride out the next several days in the hotel (hospital for her). Maybe, the weather will clear and I can catch a plane back to Bama sometime this weekend????

Nothing good out of this witch for me to celebrate, for sure!

Wow, that really sucks that the weather can screw up a vacation

Glad you are all safe

Unfortunately no hurricane party this time. Enjoyed the cool weather with a Rocky Patel R4 earlier though.

I saw that boat come in and heard y'all had a bunch of rough weather. Sorry to hear about your trip being cancelled.

pnoon · 10-28-2012, 10:52 PM

Sorry to hear that, Cliff. But I'm glad you and your wife are safe.

My sentiments exactly. Stay safe, and hope you stay out of the worst of it. Good luck!

BHalbrooks · 10-28-2012, 11:50 PM

I'm enjoying going to bed after working 4 to 12a and going back to work at 8a until 12a, and I'm hoping they don't make us stay another shift on top of that. I'm sure Boston won't get hit hard. Good luck to everyone else in the upper NE, East Coast area.

NeuRon · 10-29-2012, 03:13 AM

My home has been evacuated, as i am right on the water in the eye of the stormpath. Wish me luck guys. I dont usually get worried. But this time kinda irks me

SvilleKid · 10-29-2012, 03:56 AM

Good luck Ron. Hope your home survives, and you are back in it quickly. Stay safe.

Eh, I'm in FL and have certainly enjoyed some. I could understand though

Coach Deg · 10-29-2012, 05:03 AM

Thoughts and prayers for all on the east coast. Good Luck and stay safe!

Blak Smyth · 10-29-2012, 07:52 AM

Wishing everybody the best luck in the storm, not supposed to hit here until later tonight.
I know a couple of my good BOTL are in the direct path in NJ, best wishes to you guys. I will keep you all in my thoughts.

We will be having a hurricane party tonight, not to celebrate the storm but to make the most of a bad situation. I do not mean that to be offensive in any way to those impacted more than myself by the storm. It is a serious matter for sure.

Brlesq · 10-29-2012, 07:52 AM

I'm in Upstate NY, and the winds are beginning to pick up quickly this morning. Grocery shelves are empty. Winds expected to hit 85mph today. Trees will come down and power will go out with that! Just hope Sandy doesn't stall, and just moves through in a day or two so we can get back to normal.

So I'm thinking that even my torch lighter might not work in that wind. Has anyone here used a blow torch before? I need advice.
